3) Saskatchewan Roughrider 1-0 (LW:0)

If it wouldn’t have been for their turnovers, the Riders may have beaten the Lions by a lot more. Saskatchewan’s defense led the way for them on Friday.

4) Calgary Stampeders 0-1 (LW:0)

Calgary didn’t win their game against a tough Montreal team, but they hung in there. Calgary is still going to be a tough team to beat this year.

5) Edmonton Eskimos 1-0 (LW:0)

Edmonton won against the Blue Bombers, but didn’t look very impressive. The team was solid on defense but didn’t score a point in the first half.

6) Winnipeg Blue Bombers 0-1 (LW:0)

Winnipeg’s defense looked solid in their loss to the Eskimos. Unfortunately, Stefan Lefors and the offense couldn’t get things going.

7) BC Lions 0-1 (LW:0)

BC was able to generate a lot of turnovers to keep themselves in the game against the Riders. But BC’s offense struggled to move the ball most of the game.

8) Hamilton Tiger Cats 0-1 (LW:0)

Poor Hamilton. After a good offseason, the Tiger Cats disappointed their fans at home by losing to the rival Argonauts. They once again find themselves at the bottom of the power rankings.

Check back twice a week for preview and recaps from the CFL. Also, check back every couple of weeks for a look at who is winning the race for the MOP award.
